Former South African all-rounder and Durban Supergiants coach, Lance Klusener reacted to national T20 skipper Temba Bavuma's snub during the SA20 auction.
Reacting to Bavuma going unsold, Klusener admitted that the competition for places in a franchise is brutal.
The former hard-hitting batsman further added that being a renowned international player does not guarantee a place in T20 leagues, as Bavuma found out this week.
Speaking to IOL, Lance Klusener said:
"It's brutal out there, there's a lot of competition for places. It just shows you that if you're a good player for South Africa, it doesn't mean you have the same recognition around the world. Maybe that will just drive people that didn't get bought a little bit harder for next year"
